The custom of giving a Christmas party for these children was estab lished a number of years ago, and all the children look forward to the party with a great deal of enthusiasm. At first, the Queens’ girls would at tempt to do the entertaining at the party, but they soon found that the children welcomed the opportunity to exhibit their originality and to dis play their talents, and that they are quite cajiable of furnishing their own entertainment. The refreshments, a most important part of any children’s party will be prepared by the girls, and there will be plenty of cookies, apple “Mickey Mouses,” animal crackers, and gin gerbread men.
